The appointment confirms our strong media presence on the international market and I have every confidence in our teams to deliver outstanding agency services and the highest levels of professionalism throughout the entire sales process.

UEFA EURO 2008TM was a rewarding experience for SPORTFIVE and we are delighted to build upon and further develop our long-standing relationship with UEFA to offer a combination of experience, expertise and innovation for UEFA EURO 2012TM.”

SPORTFIVE will strive to ensure maximimum audience distribution and coverage, providing new opportunities for exploitation across all media platforms, including free-to air television, pay television, the internet and mobile.

The signing of this deal coincides with SPORTFIVE’s recent decision to relocate its International Business Unit to Geneva. The proximity of the Geneva office to UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon will enhance a smooth collaboration with UEFA and successful sales process for the media rights to UEFA EURO 2012TM.
